How we are seen from the outside? What real impact does our communication have? Are we influencing the public conversation? Or are we speaking almost exclusively to ourselves?

At this Christian social centre in Mozambique, boys and girls, both with and without disabilities, play, learn and grow together.

The EEA winsomely describes evangelicals’ commitment to holistic mission, their history of positive social contributions, and their motivation to value every human being as made in God’s image.

Christians should not speak about others in avoidably offensive ways, using derogatory language or an unloving tone. Our aim must be to speak the truth in love.

The Bible should not be welcomed because it supports socialism, conservatism or liberalism. It should be welcomed because it speaks to questions that no political ideology can answer on its own.

Fifty years ago, on July 9, 1976, I landed in Frankfurt am Main with my family. A Lufthansa plane had flown us from Moscow to Germany. “To freedom”—as people said. My parents had been waiting for an exit permit since 1956. Now the time had finally come.

I hope that the Jeffrey Donaldson revelations will cause us to reflect deeply on the culture that we have allowed to develop, which is insufficiently loving and insufficiently committed to truth.

We recognise the legitimate duty of governments to manage migration responsibly, secure external borders, and combat human trafficking. At the same time, several elements of this Regulation trouble us. Detention will now last longer and can apply to families with children.

The widespread use of AI chatbots reinforces the trend. Everything is faster, more effective, more concise. We have more answers to our queries, more information, and more tasks sorted out. But we also have less conversations. 

The fact that liberal-democratic countries such as Switzerland and Germany react so strongly to expressions of faith shows just how far secularisation has progressed. That is why I urge Ruben Vargas, Felix Nmecha and others to continue leavening the dough with a faith lived out genuinely.

The thirteen original American colonies had to find a way to live together without becoming either thirteen separate nations or a new centralised empire. They found a framework for healthy interdependence among themselves, despite their religious diversity. 

The film phenomenon offers an energetic blend of action, music, and humour, wrapped in beautiful, vibrant animation and framed by a mythology with darker undertones.

The current proposals undermine the role of parents and carers while also ignoring freedom of religion and belief, offering no protection for church leaders and others.

We can see the need for rest in those around us as their attitudes reflect Martha’s bad day.  But all too often, we cannot see the issue in ourselves.

Is it possible to attend the same annual conference for over a decade and still feel that it is crucial to your work?

For the Gospel, the threshold is a place of transition, not of lingering. It is a one-way passage, not a platform where one is supposed to remain.

Cuba's energy crisis has plunged entire communities into isolation, but TWR has found a way to break through and support the Cuban people in their time of need.

The heroic personal struggles that conflate the political party’s mission with one’s personal project can lead to disaster – both for the individual and for the party. Something similar happens in churches when they become a pastor’s personal project.

Football became so deeply rooted in British working-class communities because there were chapels, Sunday schools, parish rooms and young men looking for somewhere to belong, long before there were professional clubs, stadiums and television contracts.

Europe would not simply sanction a private individual who supports Putin in the war, but the most important figure of the Russian Orthodox Church itself. Is that what we want?

Perhaps you are not aware of where these barriers might lie. There are different kinds: for example, architectural, communicational, attitudinal, instrumental, methodological, and so on.

They offer an attractive spirituality adorned with medieval symbols and oriental rituals. But behind this façade lies a rejection of biblical revelation, sovereign grace and the sovereignty of Christ.

 What, exactly, are we asking people to leave behind when they come to Christ? And what are we asking them to become? 

From 15 to 18 June, thirty-five participants from nine countries participated in the eight edition of the Rome Scholars and Leaders Network.

I have friends and readers on both sides of this issue, and I would like to keep it that way. Fifty years ago, gay people were widely stigmatized as perverts; today, defenders of a traditional view of sexuality are delegitimized as bigots.
